Scarning is lucky to have two hard courts, both situated on the Playing Field on Shipdham Lane.
These can be hired by the hour for £5 by contacting Pam Cole on 07375 077807 or by collecting a key from 1 Hall Cottages, Dereham Road, (opposite the church.)

If you need to wait for a court to become available. you can always have a game of table tennis on the adjacent table!

Scarning has a team in the Castle Acre league during the 2023 season, and all the fixtures can be found in the Village Events calendar.

There are also friendly Free Community Tennis Sessions twice a week, which are held on Thursday evenings between 18.00-20.00 and Sunday mornings between 10.00-12.00.  If you are new to the area or want to get back into tennis, learn from scratch or aspire to be better, or maybe you are a decent player already, all will be very welcome. Some participants worry at first that they might not be good enough but these anxieties are quickly dissipated. All you need is a racquet and some balls. We have a mix of age groups, though children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
There is also a WhatsApp network for players to keep in touch and arrange friendly games between the Free Community Sessions. For more information 07889 077396 – ScarningTennis@Gmail.Com
